Plumbing questions, answered by experts

If you're replacing a similar model, you don’t always need a plumber to install a bathtub faucet since it will fit over the existing plumbing. That said, there is some room for error. If you’re uncomfortable with working on your plumbing, your installation is more complex than a simple replacement, or the piping is old and corroded, call a pro to handle the job. 

You can use other ways to seal the space where your tub and the bathroom tile meet. Using sealant tape, epoxy sealer, and spray foam can be just as effective as caulking your bathtub. When using alternatives to caulk, the one that is best for you depends on your preferences. 

Sealant tape takes less time and effort to use, which is why some homeowners prefer it. Meanwhile, epoxy sealer creates a smooth and glossy finish that can complement your bathroom. Lastly, spray foam is waterproof and can act as insulation for your tub.

If you try a drain snake and various DIY methods for unclogging drains to no avail, bring in a professional plumber to assess the situation. Also, if multiple drains in your home are backing up or you smell sewage, a visit from a plumber is best. You can expect your drain cleaning costs to fall around $250, and this can include an assessment of what’s caught in your plumbing and if there’s a larger, underlying problem. You should also consider calling a pro if you need to snake a toilet, as DIYing this could lead to a cracked fixture.

The clearest sign that something is wrong with your galvanized piping is if you can see rust or corrosion on the exterior. These indicate that the same problems are present on the inside of the pipes. You should contact a licensed plumber right away so that they can inspect your pipes. Other signs include poor performance of your gas appliances, high gas bills, and if your pipes are past the lifespan of 20 to 50 years.

Sometimes when a pipe bursts in a house, it makes a clang or popping noise; however, that doesn’t mean you’ll hear it. Newer pipes tend to be quieter than older pipes. Plus, a pipe can easily burst out of earshot, especially if it’s a floor or two away from you. 

If you do hear an unusual popping noise, consider hiring a plumber to inspect your pipes. Most of the time, you’re more likely to notice a burst pipe either from a visible leak or because water won’t run out of your tap properly.
